Yes, 1.3.1/net is too far from the current state of the art (hence the
upcoming 2.0 release!). So instead use anoncvs and the tools from
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html

It isn't any more. Cygwin unfortunately only releases the last two
versions of the DLL. This is causing us problems right now as both cygwin
1.3.19 and 1.3.20 have significant problems (in fact two in 1.3.20, one of
which is easily corrected and has already been reported on the cygwin
lists, and the other is still being investigated).

It can be tricky!

Or download it by FTP when it's released.
